Map

7 June 1946. RAF air photography.
Positive crop marks.
Sub-rectangular enclosure with possible entrance to north and ditch extending from southeast corner.
D. Edwards (NAU) and H. Spalding (NAU), 30 March 1987.

October 2002. Norfolk NMP.
Enclosure recorded at this site not mapped as part of the NMP project. The lines of the enclosure seemed too coincidental with those of the tramlines. Additional photography would be required before the archaeological nature of the cropmarks could be certain.
S. Massey (NMP), 4 October 2002.
